Report of Solar-Geophysical Activity
Issued: 2007 Dec 13 2200 UTC
Prepared jointly by the U.S. Dept. of Commerce, NOAA,
Space Weather Prediction Center and the U.S. Air Force.


Joint USAF/NOAA Report of Solar and Geophysical Activity
SDF Number 347 Issued at 2200Z on 13 Dec 2007


IA. Analysis of Solar Active Regions and Activity from 12/2100Z
to 13/2100Z: Solar activity was low. Region 978 (S08W25) produced a
C4.5/1f event at 13/1003Z. This region has exhibited growth in
white light area coverage and developed a beta-gamma-delta magnetic
configuration.
IB. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very
low to low. Region 978 remains capable of producing C-class flares
with a slight chance for an isolated low level M-class event.
IIA. Geophysical Activity Summary 12/2100Z to 13/2100Z:
The geomagnetic field was quiet. The greater than 2 MeV electron
flux at geosynchronous orbit reached high levels.
IIB. Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is
expected to be mostly quiet for 14-15 December. Quiet to unsettled
conditions are expected for 16 December.
